Trouble Is can be found everywhere music is sold both physically and electronically,
including your local record store! If her album cannot be found at a location, simply request
it to the clerk and it will arrive in a few business days. Alanna Royale and her team continue
to push boundaries with their music, even in its physical form, pressing their 45 RPM vinyl
on something called ‘regrind’.
“They use all of this wax that has fallen onto the floor from cutting vinyl all day to press our
little 45 RPM singles onto,” Royale explained excitedly. “All that regrind, what would have
been wasted wax, is instead made into these wonderfully adorable multicolored singles, and
we get boxes of color variants. No box is one solid color, they’re all just so beautiful and get
those vinyl collectors to our merch table.”
Following her platform’s message of
interacting with people individually, and the
importance of keeping that human
connection, Royale assures that the best
way to tell people about her music is a
mutually beneficial way for her and her
listeners, encouraging to spend time with
your loved ones.
“I'm very grateful for any opportunity for
someone to speak my name in public but
there is a power in direct friend-to-friend,
family-to-family, and person-to-person
recommendations, and if you like what you
hear, just tell 10 people because there's a
power in that that no algorithm can match.”
